通常來說，大多數自行車都提供把手固定式操作裝置，用來操作自行車的許多自行車組件。在過去，該等把手固定式操作裝置為機械操作裝置，其固定至該等把手並透過推拉控制鋼索(例如Bowden鋼索)連接至一或多個自行車組件(例如煞車裝置或變速裝置、懸吊裝置)，來操作該(等)自行車組件。近來，自行車已經提供有液壓操作裝置及/或電動操作裝置。液壓操作裝置透過一或多個液壓軟管，連接至一或多個自行車液壓致動組件，而電動操作裝置則透過一或多條電纜，連接至一或多個自行車電致動組件。其中，該推拉控制鋼索、液壓軟管以及電纜一般稱為控制管線。傳統上，這些控制管線通常沿著自行車架的外面以及其他中空構件，例如把手，來固定。不過最近，有時鋼索會***這些中空構件內部，維持自行車外觀以及保護鋼索。第2005/0029772號美國專利申請案中揭示一種在自行車中空構件內部佈置鋼索的自行車範例。 In general, most bicycles provide handle-mounted operating devices for operating many bicycle components of the bicycle. In the past, the handle-operated operating devices were mechanically operated devices that were secured to the handles and connected to one or more bicycle components (eg, brake devices or shifting devices, suspension devices) through push-pull control cables (eg, Bowden cable). ) to operate the (etc.) bicycle component. Recently, bicycles have been provided with hydraulic operating devices and/or electric operating devices. The hydraulic operating device is coupled to one or more bicycle hydraulic actuation assemblies via one or more hydraulic hoses, and the electric operating device is coupled to one or more bicycle electrical actuation assemblies via one or more cables. Among them, the push-pull control cable, hydraulic hose and cable are generally referred to as control pipelines. Traditionally, these control lines are typically secured along the outside of the bicycle frame and other hollow members, such as handles. Recently, however, sometimes steel cables are inserted inside these hollow members to maintain the appearance of the bicycle and protect the cable. An example of a bicycle in which a cable is placed inside a hollow member of a bicycle is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 2005/002,977.

Herein, the hydraulic hose inlet 76 is a separate component that is secured to the hydraulic master cylinder housing 72 at a location behind the reservoir 74. As seen in the ninth and tenth views, when the bicycle operating device 10A is in the installed state, the hydraulic hose inlet 76 is entirely in the upper half of the interior 2B of the handle 2. As seen in the third figure, a hydraulic tube 78 has one end connected to a hydraulic hose inlet 76. The other end of the hydraulic pipe 78 is connected to a hydraulic chamber 80 (tenth and thirteenth views) of the hydraulic master cylinder casing 72.
如第十圖和第十三圖內所見，一活塞82沿著其縱向中央軸線以移動方式置於液壓腔室80內。液壓腔室80的縱向中央軸線與第二和第三樞轉軸線A2和A3同軸配置。在第一具體實施例內，如第十圖內所見，當自行車操作裝置10A在已安裝狀態下，液壓腔室80大部分都在把手2的內部2B 之下半部內。如此，當自行車操作裝置10A在已安裝狀態下，液壓腔室80的該縱向中央軸線位於把手2的內部2B之下半部內。一端部螺閂84係配置於液壓總泵外殼72的一開放端，以構成液壓腔室80的一端。 As seen in the tenth and thirteenth views, a piston 82 is moved within the hydraulic chamber 80 along its longitudinal central axis. The longitudinal central axis of the hydraulic chamber 80 is coaxially disposed with the second and third pivot axes A2 and A3. In the first embodiment, as seen in the tenth figure, when the bicycle operating device 10A is in the mounted state, the hydraulic chamber 80 is mostly in the interior 2B of the handle 2. In the lower half. As such, when the bicycle operating device 10A is in the installed state, the longitudinal central axis of the hydraulic chamber 80 is located within the lower half of the interior 2B of the handle 2. One end bolt 84 is disposed at an open end of the hydraulic master cylinder housing 72 to constitute one end of the hydraulic chamber 80.
一活塞桿86將第一操作構件20操作連接至活塞82，如此第一操作構件20繞著該第一樞轉軸線A1的樞轉動作，導致活塞82沿著液壓腔室80的該縱向中央軸線，從一靜止位置(第四圖)移動至一致動位置(第五圖)。第一操作構件20利用一樞轉插銷88，樞轉連接至活塞桿86的一第一末端。活塞桿86的一第二末端固定至活塞82。如此，隨著第一操作構件20從該靜止位置樞轉至該操作位置，活塞桿86拉動活塞82，如第四圖和第五圖內所示。 A piston rod 86 operatively couples the first operating member 20 to the piston 82 such that the first operating member 20 pivots about the first pivot axis A1, causing the piston 82 to follow the longitudinal central axis of the hydraulic chamber 80. Move from a rest position (fourth figure) to a consistent position (fifth figure). The first operating member 20 is pivotally coupled to a first end of the piston rod 86 by a pivot pin 88. A second end of the piston rod 86 is fixed to the piston 82. As such, as the first operating member 20 pivots from the rest position to the operative position, the piston rod 86 pulls the piston 82 as shown in the fourth and fifth figures.
此時主要參考第十一圖，更詳細討論額外操作單元18。基本上，額外操作單元18建構成機械變速單元，其設置成拉動與釋放該控制鋼索C的該內鋼索C1，來操作該第一變速裝置。額外操作單元18拉動或釋放該內鋼索C1，以回應第一和第二操作構件20和22的操作。在本文中，在第一具體實施例內，第一操作構件20的操作導致額外操作單元18拉動該內鋼索C1，而第二操作構件22的操作導致額外操作單元18釋放該內鋼索C1。因為額外操作單元18的結構可依照需求及/或所要，實際上可為任何一種機械操作單元18，因此本文將不再討論或例示額外操作單元18。 The additional operating unit 18 is discussed in more detail at this time primarily with reference to FIG. Basically, the additional operating unit 18 is constructed to constitute a mechanical shifting unit that is configured to pull and release the inner cable C1 of the control cable C to operate the first shifting device. The additional operating unit 18 pulls or releases the inner cable C1 in response to the operation of the first and second operating members 20 and 22. Herein, in the first embodiment, the operation of the first operating member 20 causes the additional operating unit 18 to pull the inner cable C1, while the operation of the second operating member 22 causes the additional operating unit 18 to release the inner cable C1. Because the structure of the additional operating unit 18 can be any mechanical operating unit 18 as desired and/or desired, the additional operating unit 18 will not be discussed or illustrated herein.
額外操作單元18可拉動和釋放該鋼索C1，來回應第一和第二操作構件20和22的操作，這與第2012/0297919號美國專利申請公報內描述的變速操作單元之方式一樣。不過，額外操作單元18固定至主支撐本體12，並且第一和第二操作構件20和22的配置不同於此美國專利申請公報內描述 的變速控制機構。換言之，此美國專利申請公報的該變速控制機構應需要調整，才能與主支撐本體12和操作單元16搭配使用。 The additional operating unit 18 can pull and release the cable C1 in response to the operation of the first and second operating members 20 and 22 in the same manner as the shift operating unit described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 2012/02979. However, the additional operating unit 18 is fixed to the main support body 12, and the configurations of the first and second operating members 20 and 22 are different from those described in this U.S. Patent Application Publication. Speed control mechanism. In other words, the shift control mechanism of this U.S. Patent Application Publication should be adjusted to be used in conjunction with the main support body 12 and the operating unit 16.
當然，額外操作單元18並不受限於其中使用兩個操作構件來操作額外操作單元18這種配置。例如：額外操作單元18可經過設置，如此第一(單一)操作構件執行一煞車操作、一鋼索拉動操作以及一鋼索釋放操作，這與第2010/0083788號美國專利申請公報內描述的變速控制機構之方式一樣。當然，該變速控制機構應需要調整，才能與主支撐本體12和操作單元16搭配使用。 Of course, the additional operating unit 18 is not limited to such a configuration in which two operating members are used to operate the additional operating unit 18. For example, the additional operating unit 18 can be configured such that the first (single) operating member performs a brake operation, a cable pulling operation, and a cable release operation, as described in the shift control mechanism described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 2010/0083,788. The way is the same. Of course, the shift control mechanism should be adjusted to be used with the main support body 12 and the operating unit 16.
此時請參閱第十四圖，例示根據第二具體實施例的一右側自行車操作裝置110。除了自行車操作裝置110固定至把手2的組態已經改變以外，自行車操作裝置110與上述自行車操作裝置10A一樣。自行車操作裝置110基本上包含一主支撐本體112、一外把手固定結構114、一操作單元116以及一額外操作單元118。操作單元116和額外操作單元118與第一具體實施例的操作單元16和額外操作單元18一樣。如此，操作單元116連接至該液壓軟管H，而額外操作單元118連接至該控制鋼索C。 Referring to Figure 14 at this point, a right bicycle operating device 110 in accordance with a second embodiment is illustrated.

外把手固定結構114包含一夾具160和一束緊結構162。夾具160位於主支撐本體112上。在第二具體實施例內，夾具160為一無鉸鍊夾具，其中一部分夾具160與一部分主支撐本體112整合形成。另外，夾具160可為分開的零件，其附接至主支撐本體112。在此，束緊結構162為一固定螺栓，其連接夾具160的相對末端部分。束緊結構162連結至夾具160，改變夾具160的一把手接受開口170之有效內直徑，以回應束緊結構162的調整。鑑於自行車操作裝置10A與110之間的類似性，為了簡化起見，將不再進一 步討論自行車操作裝置110。 The outer handle securing structure 114 includes a clamp 160 and a tightening structure 162. The clamp 160 is located on the main support body 112. In the second embodiment, the clamp 160 is a hingeless clamp in which a portion of the clamp 160 is integrally formed with a portion of the main support body 112. Additionally, the clamp 160 can be a separate piece that is attached to the main support body 112. Here, the tightening structure 162 is a fixing bolt that connects the opposite end portions of the jig 160. The tightening structure 162 is coupled to the clamp 160 to change the effective inner diameter of the handle 170 receiving opening 170 in response to the adjustment of the tightening structure 162. In view of the similarity between the bicycle operating devices 10A and 110, for the sake of simplicity, it will not be further advanced. The bicycle operating device 110 is discussed in steps.
此時請參閱第十五圖，例示根據第三具體實施例的一右側自行車操作裝置210。除了自行車操作裝置210固定至把手2的組態已經改變以外，自行車操作裝置210與上述自行車操作裝置10A一樣。自行車操作裝置210基本上包含一主支撐本體212、一外把手固定結構214、一操作單元216以及一額外操作單元218。操作單元216和額外操作單元218與第一具體實施例的操作單元16和額外操作單元18一樣。如此，操作單元216連接至該液壓軟管H，而額外操作單元218連接至該控制鋼索C。 At this time, referring to the fifteenth diagram, a right bicycle operating device 210 according to the third embodiment is illustrated. The bicycle operating device 210 is the same as the above-described bicycle operating device 10A except that the configuration in which the bicycle operating device 210 is fixed to the handle 2 has been changed. The bicycle operating device 210 basically includes a main support body 212, an outer handle fixing structure 214, an operating unit 216, and an additional operating unit 218.
